We had Reuben sandwiches last night for supper. I had bought a large bag of sauerkraut to put on the Reubens and only used a small portion of it. We are not real fans of hot dogs and sauerkraut or plain sauerkraut as a side dish so we looked up a new recipe for Kapusta. Kathy has always made a good Kapusta but I saw this recipe that includes Thyme and mushrooms. It just sounded good to me so she is going to cook it up while I am gone bowling. I LOVE Kapusta. Tonight's supper will be warmed up left over sliced corned beef, left over potato salad and Kapusta. www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23362/kapusta/ |

sound great. I made a frittata last night with cheese. Served in a large whole wheat lavash over fresh spinach and a coating of plant based hellmans mayo. I also made a tomato, cucumber and sliced red onion and kalamata olives salad with Greek Dressing and a slice of feta cheese. Very satisfying.
Tonight it is Texas Black bean soup. You might like this and I am even going give corn a try. No crockpot so I will use the old fashioned method
Ingredients
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes or Mexican stewed tomatoes, cut up
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes or diced tomatoes with mild green chiles
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
1 can (11 ounces) Mexicorn, drained
2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic
Directions
1. In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 4-6 hours or until heated through.

That sounds great. I will try it the next time we plan a soup for supper. Kathy doesn't eat spicy foods so I will have to go easy on the chiles. I buy the El Paso brand green chiles in the little short cans, and Rotel brand diced tomatoes with green chiles. I will make the soup with the Rotel tomatoes and add some of the green chiles or a few chopped up jalapenos into mine at table side. I like hot and spicy. I use a jar of sliced pickled jalapenos in a matter of a couple weeks in salads, scrambled eggs, on burgers and scattered about on pizza. I have backed off on the hotter varieties. Cherry peppers and jalapenos are my limit. No more habaneros or ghost peppers. Too hard on the tummy and tailpipe for this old fart.
I do soups both on stove top and the crockpot. I love using a crockpot when it is a soup or stew that can be tossed in and cooked all day without stirring or fussing with it. for soups that require adding things at different intervals through out the cooking process I prefer stove top.

Clipper when you say kapusta. What kind are you talking about. Kapusta means cabbage in Polish and there are so many kinds.
Last week I made beef barley soup. It was my first time making it but Ive eaten before.

My brother in law makes a beef barley soup that will knock your socks off. Delicious. Recipe 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I realize that kapusta means cabbage in Polish but here in the US it is often used to describe different variations of cooked cabbage supplemented with additional ingredients. If we google it many entries pop up with many options for a variety of cabbage based dishes, including the recipe I linked above. As for us, we refer to plain cooked cabbage as cooked cabbage, and when additional ingredients are added we consider it kapusta. www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23362/kapusta/For a simple side dish Kathy often chops up a couple of strips of chopped bacon and cooks them off. When the bacon is done she leaves it in the pan along with the drippings and adds the cabbage and enough water or broth to steam the cabbage. |

I read the recipe. They use fresh cabbage and sauerkraut. . I guess its preference or regional. Mine is simple, just sauteed onions, add to gently rinsed sauerkraut (i use the silver floss not canned or jarred). Then add a bay leaf, some peppercorns, chopped up kielbasa, add maybe cup of water and simmer on low till cooked to taste.
